TMH Design is
frequently asked questions regarding the development of an effective web
presence. Listed below are some of the more common ones asked.
If you have a question and do not see it listed, please contact us and
we'll be happy to answer it.

Why TMH Design -
TMH Design is a Microsoft Registered Web Presence
Developer. With the ability to use FrontPage, your web site
will be completed in a fashion which will make it easy for you or
your staff to maintain after its completion. This might
include adding pictures, changing text, or adding pages. Some
of the most important aspects of web design are taken into
consideration when we begin a project. These include general
appearance, site navigation, and download efficiency.

How much will my web site cost- Perhaps the most common question, this is
often the most difficult to answer. This is why a thorough
consultation and strategic plan are so critical in the successful
completion of a project. Two of the greatest cost influences
on a project are those of custom graphic development and
programming. TMH Design is extremely conscientious of a
client's budget and will provide an estimate prior to beginning any
project. If a budget is limited, TMH Design will work with you
to help develop a site which is cost effective, yet visually
pleasing and fully functional.

What is a domain name
- Once you decide to develop a web site for
yourself or business, you will need a domain name. Your name
can be up to 18 letters in length and be followed by any one of
several suffixes, such as .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info. A
domain generally cost less than $50.00 per year, and once purchased,
exclusively belongs to you. To inquire about the availability
of a domain name or purchase one, please contact us and we will be
happy to assist you.

How will people find my site
- One of the mistakes businesses and people
will often make is the thought that once complete, their web site
will create a windfall of business and or interest from the World
Wide Web. These may be the case, but only after careful design
considerations have been addressed and various marketing venues have
been utilized. Once complete, TMH Design will submit your web
site to every major search engine and in addition, show you other
options available to maximize your web sites exposure.

Can I have a personal email address
- Yes, you can
have your own email address. But only after the purchase of a
domain name. Depending on where you site is hosted, you may
have one or perhaps several personal email addresses.

What
is "hosting" -
Once complete, your web site will be presented to you
on a CD-Rom or other storage device. You will then need to
upload your web site on a computer whose sole purpose is to "house"
web sites. This computer, known as a server, can be thought of
as an apartment building for web sites. You sign a lease, for
as little as one month, or for as long as several years.
Generally, there is a nominal set-up fee of less than $100.00 and
then you can expect a monthly fee ranging from about $20.00 upwards
to $100.00 per month. If you so choose, you may relocate you
web site at any time. TMH Design is fully capable of assisting
you with any hosting arrangements you may need.

Who
will maintain my site after completion
- When TMH Design develops a web site, we do so
with the intent of making it as easy to maintain for our clients as
possible. Using Microsoft FrontPage, you will be able to
easily open any page in the site and make changes to text, or even
replace or insert images.

What is needed to get started
- To get started, you should have a clear
visualization of what it is you wish to accomplish with your web
site. Also, any graphics or logos you wish to utilize in the
development of the site should be provided at this time.

How
long will it take
-
Many variables can affect the length of a project.
When undertaken, TMH Design will provide you with a timeline of the
project. This timeline will define key stages of the web sites
development and ensure as speedy a completion as possible.
